DDA Chapter 26

[tmfranlk]

Deb - Glad the news was good and that the doctor isn't concerned. I hope it brings you and Chris some peace. Hope your new medicine helps your sleep!

Theresa - Sorry you've still got so much crap to deal with. I hope it all comes to an end quickly and you're able to move on freely.

This has been the pregnancy and after from you know where. Gestational Diabetes Pregnancy Induced Hypertension was starting to develop Bed rest starting at 30 weeks. Sabrina delivers Breech and gets stuck for a few minutes. Hemorrhage after. Dr threatens a D & C. Get a blood transfusion. Get readmitted with a uterine infection. Sabrina not gaining weight having to supplement after direct breastfeeding. Now Mastitis.

Oh No. I remember being completely blocked and them worrying about mastitis and how extremely painful it was, I can only imagine Things have to improve from here, they just have to

I feel asleep great on the new med, but woke up at 3 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. TGIF

That is the story of my life! I fall asleep about 11:15 or 11:30 and am wide awake by 4:15 or so. Maybe we can call each other!

Elin, the pin came in an email that has a link where I can book on line. When i play on the disney site I can get the standard room to come up for my group and it is 400 cheaper. But when I go through the email. All I get is garden view

But gardenview is the standard, I think. It is likely that the rate you are getting with the email is all that is available now with your PIN. They go FAST!

Hope the mastitis can be cleared up soon. It hurts!

big girls getting ready for bed. Nothing on the TV I want to watch. equals I'm bored. Who wants to chat?

 

[lovesdumbo]

Deb-glad to hear the doctor isn't worried about Nick! Hope you can sleep soon! I have never been a good sleeper-even as a kid.

Theresa-

Jennifer-ouch! Hope it clears up soon!

But gardenview is the standard, I think. It is likely that the rate you are getting with the email is all that is available now with your PIN. They go FAST!

There is a standard (parking lot view) wing room that is less expensive than a garden view wing room. My guess would be that that cheaper category either isn't available to book with the pin or is already sold out with the pin.

Jennifer-I can't imagine that you would save enough by buying tickets at Undercover Tourist to buy one day tickets for a package and then multi day tickets there.

Have you priced out what you might buy for food to be sure the DDP is really worth it? If you're trying to save money I would think you might be able to eat cheaper without the DDP. Especially since you're driving-you could go shopping for breakfast foods and snacks.

I went to the doctor today. He took xrays of both feet. The left foot looks good for only being 7 weeks post op today. The right foot also looks goods for being 5 months post op. He can not explain why my right foot still hurts so much. He thinks I should get a CT scan but I think he really just thinks it will take a while longer. I'm worried I wait a few more months and it doesn't improve and then it will be too late to get it better before Disney.

I also asked him what he thought about my friend Mary K and I doing the Disney 1/2 marathon next January and he said he thought I could do it. We'll walk-not run. Will have to train to get up the required 16mph pace.

OH...he was concerned about how the wound looked on my left foot so I pointed out that it looked like there were still two stitches there (his associate took them out) and sure enough he was able to pull them out. One was rather large. My foot should feel better with those out.

I'm glad that things are progressing, though still slowly. I hope the removal of the last two stitches helps the wound heal quickly and at least feel better that way. Continued that it all heals for Disney.

Bernadette - I am really hoping your feet start feeling much better soon. Having those stitches out might help!

 

[PNO4TE]

Jennifer - We have done packages with DDP and DLxDP, room only and had PIN codes as well as AP rates. We have never found that the Dining Plan was a good bargain for us. I think you should book the room you want as soon as possible with your PIN code and then think about Dining after that. Unless there is a stipulation with your PIN that it can't be done (or that you have to book a package) you can always turn a room only reservation into a package by adding dining to it.

We love Undercover Tourist for tickets! I think they are the most inexpensive way to go for tickets out there. We have bought tickets from them and the upgraded them to APs after arrival at WDW and saved quite a bit of money. I think getting your tickets from them is a good idea.

Good morning, DDA!

 

[tmfranlk]

I think I'd probably agree with Elin. Quick Service would barely come out ahead I think, if even that. And that includes 4 mugs, which you may or may not need if the girls don't drink much soda at the resort. I think I'd lean to taking the savings of Undercover Tourist (do you get the mousesavers emails? If not, sign up as they always have a link for even cheaper tickets from undercover) and just doing your meals out of pocket. Since you're probably driving you can shop sales for breakfast things and snacks before you leave home, then just buy what you need on quick service meals as you go. The twins will be at that borderline age of whether or not their eating much off your plates yet so it's hard to plan there as well.

Plus, you can always get the PIN code room-only booked and then see what happens in the way of other discounts moving forward. There's a lot of speculation that the previous free dining offer for 2011 will be the only one. Who knows if that's right, but definitely get your PIN while you can. And even if you book one PIN room now and change your mind before it expires, you can change it up. I think Elin's right too that you can always add the dining later, even after the pin code expires since it's only linked to the room rate.

 

[tmfranlk]

Just checked the link and the Mousesavers deal gives an extra $2 off per ticket.

Thanks to both of you!

The only way DDP works for us is when the 3 kids were between 3 & 9 and we did lots of buffets. I think you might be able to get QSDP to work if you always bought the most expensive options but I think you can eat cheaper without all the work of trying to "work the system" by buying the most expensive options. I don't like the DDP sort of force you to eat the way they are set up. I don't often get a dessert with CS or even a drink.

Anyone going to Disney next December?

We are booked in a Treehouse Villa for December 6-15. I am so excited. Katrina & Becky will be coming with their boyfriends for the 9th-15th. If their boyfriends can't make it, they will invite a female friend. We have also invited my mom and aunt for the 6th-11th. My aunt has never been interested in Disney so she has turned us down but I told her I am going to keep trying to change her mind. She is my favorite aunt and both Chuck & I have wanted to share Disney with her and mom without kids.

We are not going in March so this will help me make it through that. Now on to the planning, planning, planning!!!

 

[tmfranlk]

I would so like to take Terra on the new Wild Africa Trek tour. It looks amazing. Maybe someday we'll travel with someone who could keep Deva for a little while since the age is 8 and up. Oh yeah, and we'd have to be able to afford the almost $400 for the two of us.
